Most people I knew during undergrad tried to get a gig via the college career fair, but mostly no call backs. Internships were even more rare at the career fairs. I did go to get experience and practice talking to the people though.

...welcome our flagging and/xor tail-heating robo squirrel overlords.

Sorry, it had to be said.

"not a single Californian on the I-15 had their headlights turned on"

I call BS. There's an effective law which requires everyone to have their lights on whenever it rains. But the 15 *is* socal so when it rains there, no one knows knows what to do. Are you sure it wasn't just a little drizzle? If it was, then you need to get your windshield cleaned and wipers replaced.

When all you want to do is make a few bucks off a few thousand dollar thing, copying the specs to the letter isn't your top priority. The fakes usually only care about getting the logo in.

Because of the design of the bag. All they have to do is look through their entire catalog of bags they have made in the past, see that it doesn't match any designs and viola. If you have access to the actual specs, it's pretty trivial to go through and filter the search by size, color and design. Similar thing happened to some A-lister, and VL sent her a real bag to replace her fake one, I don't remember who that was. And a quick google news search for "louis vuitton" back to 2007 came up empty. For the record, they spotted the bag in the Hangover 2 movie.

It has been my personal experience that using mac os x as a print server makes print jobs CONSIDERABLY slower. However, it was one of the first versions of the server package, and might have improved since then. Also might of just been because of the drivers and the older HP printer we had.

NO ONE is indispensable. It'll take time to learn and retrain etc... but you would be required to pass the keys (the logins for everything) when you leave.

Farsi is the official language of Iran, and this is made in Iran, so where's the problem? It's like saying "...named Mao (Mandarin for cat)" which is also Cantonese, and then saying "it's called Chinese. You don't go around saying 'in Mandarin it's called...' do you?". The Chinese examples are simplified ignoring tone, yes I speak Cantonese.

Persian is an ethnicity. Just like you'd have Mandarin which is the language of China, but are Asian. Speaking as a person who's had roommates who are Persian who migrated from Iran and are citizens of the United States. They say they speak Farsi and choose not to identify themselves as Iranians, but as Persians. They do not identify themselves as Iranians speaking Persian.
Point I'm making: made in Iran, use Iran's locales.

I'd love to see the reaction of the kid who gets the HP calculator which uses reverse polish notation ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Polish_notation ) rather than the typical infix notation ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infix_notation ).

Someone's beat you to this idea... Fatburger. http://www.fatburger.com/home/Default.aspx Too bad you can't smoke inside in California, but some places have a patio and may be able to smoke there.

I can tell you with Mac OS X Server 10.3 (the actual 10.3 server edition) and 10.4 client, the spotlight would be going through the files on the network drive themselves and thus would be SLOW. Which is why I would ssh or vnc into the server and manually initiate a search. I have no idea if it still searches slow with 10.4 or 10.5 server.

LOL... In my opinion, as a fairly aggressive rider, it is normally safer between two cars than anything. This is because they have to be aware there's another car right beside them if they never spotted you at all. This is why I speed way up to pass when most cars are side by side together.

Well, to get around the problem you're suggesting, all they would need to do is to use the "generalized key" that is out there for the whole public, run it through a key generator scheme like the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol and you've got a brand new key that uses a public and private key to be secure. I didn't read the article, so I've no idea how Vanish addresses this problem, but it is a very easy one to solve. Anyone in cryptography knows about the Diffie-Hellman algorithm and how well it works against Eve, however if Oscar were involved, that's another story. (Eve just listens, Oscar intercepts and modifies the packets).

You must have verizon.

You wouldn't want to use RSA if you were truly serious about being secure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_cryptography is much much better, however there has been research that states that you can use ElGamal with ECC to make a homomorphic encryption algorithm. But all that says is that if you want to, it still won't make other means ECC with different means to be homomorphic by nature (or any real way to force them to be homomorphic). Then again, i could be wrong because it has been a while since I've even looked at encryption.
